Try saying “Zuma Nesta Rock” five times fast — it’s hard. That phonetic flow could be tough to master, let alone live down, for the newborn son of Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani.
The stylish rock-star couple welcomed their second little boy Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles. Little Zuma is the younger brother of two-year-old Kingston, who’s been known to sport a supercool faux-hawk and mingle with the likes of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Growing up might present more challenges for Zuma than his sibling, based on his name alone.

: “The Devil Wears Prada” star Anne Hathaway’s new movie role is the subject of a makeover, and not just in the style sense. Hathaway is recreating the part of Agent 99 in the new feature film “Get Smart,” based on the 1960’s spy comedy series. interviews director Peter Segal about changes that have been made to update the storyline to more present-day themes, and Hathaway’s character reportedly underwent a major overhaul: “In the TV show, she was the woman who stood firmly behind her man,” he reportedly says, “but that’s a little dated for today. 99 is a little more kick-(butt) and tougher, more emancipated. She’s more the female James Bond, teaching [Steve Carell’s ‘Maxwell Smart’] the ropes.”

She’s at a whole other stage now where I feel like she’s been there and she’s coming out of it.”Akon, who recently worked with Gwen Stefani and Elton John says he’s hoping to bring a brighter sound to Whitney’s new music. “My personal thing is I want to do more up-tempo records to kind of get her away from the whole situation of the dark side. So it’s more like a celebration that she survived that,” he enthused. “I feel like if she embraces that part of her and brings all that stuff into the records, I think it’ll be huge because people wanna hear that story. From what people been hearing outside in the press — he said/she said, I think if it came from her, and people actually heard it coming out on a record I think it would be huge.”As for how Whitney is doing? The producer said the star is getting ready for her comeback.“She’s doing great,” Akon said. “She’s in the gym, she’s moving around and gaining some weight.”

Finalmente Shakira es un nombre común en las casas estadounidenses. Los Latinos ya conocíamos a la colombiana por años, pero no es hasta su nuevo sencillo “Hips Don’t Lie” que la cantante con caderas de hule se une a los grandes artistas internacionales. Y como si Estados Unidos fuera poco, su nuevo sencillo adaptado para La Copa Mundial llegará a las ondas radiales del mundo completo. Ya la canción original ha roto casi todos los records aquí, incluyendo la canción popular más sonada en la radio en toda la historia (hasta ahora por segunda semana consecutiva), sobrepasando el record de “Hollaback Girl” de Gwen Stefani. Tambien su posición en las listas de música ha sido espectacular, estando en primer lugar en varias, la de sencillos norteamericanos y todas las latinas. Realmente que este tema que Shakira canta con el rapero Wyclef Jean ha tenido contundencia. Ahora andan ambos deambulando el mundo en una nueva gira que arrancó este mes en España y que llega a Estados Unidos a principios de agosto. Debajo les incluyo las fechas, aunque las taquillas estan sobrevendidas!Shakira realmente esta prendida en fuego! Aún después del incidente que ocurrió en American Idol, en el cual se rumoró que no quiso compartir con los concursantes del programa. Shakira aclaró que hubo una tremenda confusión - le dijeron que ‘los chicos’ la querían ver. Ella estaba en reunión con Wyclef en su camerino y pensó que la esperaban unos admiradores, cuando salió a buscarlos ya se habían ido pensando que ella no estaba interesada. Algo que le pasaría a cualquiera. Y por suerte no la afectó en lo absoluto. Digo por suerte porque me fascina la chica y quiero sólo los mejores y más grandes éxitos para ella.No sabemos si pueda mantener su duración en el mercado de habla inglesa y su estrellato aquí sea fugaz, pero de seguro que en los corazones Latinos Shakira seguira siendo nuestra estrella polar.
